Note how high the canal route is compared to the roofs of the houses on Haynes Avenue, Trowell. This canal follows the 60 metre contour from Wollaton in

A choice of public right of way
Public footpath to the left and public bridleway to the right. The green area in the middle is the filled in Nottingham Canal. On the OS 1:50,000 map this is shown as still in water but has been filled in for some time. Since 1977, the Broxtowe Borough Council has owned and maintained the upstream sections of the canal from Wollaton to Langley Mill as a nature reserve and walking trail. This part is at Trowell.

Splitting paths on the Nottingham Canal, Trowell
This filled in section of the former Nottingham Canal has a path along either side: a footpath on the west side, and a bridleway on the east. This proved useful on this day, as it meant I could choose the less muddy of the paths. On the right, next to the footpath signs, is one of several information boards along the former canal that provides information about the canal's history, and about the wildlife one can expect to see locally.
